Michael’s infectious smile and boundless energy were a blessing to all who knew him. From a young age, Michael was always into something, his curiosity and inventiveness evident when he famously attached a weed eater motor to a bicycle, Old Larkinsville Rd will never be the same. His passion for tinkering never waved as he grew older, often found at his Uncle Robert’s shop working on speakers, cars, and trucks, much to the despair and amusement of his Aunt Kim, who would tell him turn it down, and with his infectious smile he would say you love us, what are we having for dinner. Other times he could be found at his dads shop tinkering with motorcycles, or coming up with wild ideas with his Uncle Jason, and walking through the door looking for Mama Sharon’s candy bowl.
Michael’s life was marked by his resilience and unwavering faith, which remained steadfast through various challenges. His greatest joy was his two sons, who captured his heart from the moment they entered his life. A devoted father, his legacy is carried on through them and the many memories they created together. He married the love of his life Shena whom was a huge part of his success. With Shena by his side, he felt true love and the feeling he could conquer anything. His faith was a constant through various challenges, providing
him strength and resilience. Michael’s life was a testament to living fully and loving fiercely, leaving a void in the hearts of those who knew him. Michael’s presence was a gift to his family and friends, and his absence leaves a void that cannot be filled. His remarkable spirit and the love he shared will forever be cherished by those who were fortunate enough to know him.
His life reminds us that time is precious, and his memory will continue to inspire all who knew him to cherish every moment.
